Confessions of a parenting failure

Remember me??

Let's fast-forward a few months. My daughter is now a senior in high school a member of the varsity tennis team, the varsity cross country team and captain/president of the debate team after earning a trip to D.C. to represent the school and state at nationals last spring.

She's doing quite well. So well, in fact, that after years of joining me in making fun of the beauty-queen type girls she up and surprised me by entering the Miss Local Suburb Pageant because there is a lot of scholarship cash available. She was the 4th runner up -- the only HS aged girl to make the royalty -- and has turned things around at school so dramatically that she currently (granted, just 4 weeks into the school year) has straight A.

She seems to have finally transitioned out of the broken-heart status she had all spring and summer and has applying for scholarships as her new all-consuming focus in life. A much more appealing pursuit than boys, IMO

Great success story. Other parents who took their daughters cell phone might have gotten a visit from Health and Human Services for abuse.

Glad to hear, Idaho. Hopefully it continues, and keep us in the loop.
